Right, well i figured Holly's thread worked so fantastically well last time that i'd start another one because i need your help!
The Problem: This guy Adam asked me to the Leavers' Ball (alright alright, prom!) way back in October and ever since then its been a road of crap and greatness and now the Ball is on friday. I am SO nervous its quite unbelieveable!!He spoke to my best friend and told her he really really liked me and i think he would be a bit of an idiot not to notice my undying love- lmao.
This has been building up for so long that i don't know whether i have just made up in my head the scenario that 'something is going to happen'. And what if he doesn't make a move?Please HELP!- confusion is majorly striking!
-
Hmmmm
okay
Go have fun, if he doesn't make a move, you do that!
:)

Come on Rosie! This is an easy one. You make a move on him.
You're a cute girl, hes said hes interested in you. If he hasn't figured out you are interested in him by now then he probabaly won't. So you need to directly let him know.
Simple as that.

yeah. agrees with Si.
wait for his reaction. if he shows signs of liking you, and doesnt make the move first, then you make the first move. GOOD LUCK :wink:

Its just i'm so not used to this kind of thing, u know? I am not the kinda girl to make the first move and argh!
-
At the end of the evening, if he hasn' done anything yet
(maybe he's as shy as you...)
just grab the collar of his jacket and give him a KISS
lol
that will do the trick
Like other people in this thread said, you're a cute girl, he obviously likes you
It's up to the least shy person to make that first move!!!
-
I read in some kinda magazine that girls are most likely to make the first move.coz boys are just too shy.(boys like me) lol

Right. But see, not being used to something is not an excuse to not do it.
Otherwise, you'd never try anything new. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and give it a try.
Really, it's easy for a girl to make a move on a guy, cause a guy wont hold it against her if its kinda awkward or she stumbles or something like that. He's gonna think it's cute.
The way i see it, you have two choices; you wait for him to make a move which may not happen and you may end up missing out, OR you make a move on him.
Which option is less apeaing to you? Not getting the boy or making a move on him?

haha go for it Rosie!!!!

I know which one would be best, i really do but SO many girls like him (7! 7 bloody girls!!!) and i don't want to be another one of those girls forcing themselves onto him, u see? And in a way he's hurt me so much too, he's always telling me about all of these girls who like him and that really hurts. I'm just so confused, sometimes i think that maybe its just too exhausting to try anymore- but i still like him and i just wish i could stop.

Still not a problem babe. Check this, he's telling you about all these other girls because;
A) He wants you to be impressed... guys think that if you make it known that all these women want him he will be more attractive to you.
B) he wants to make you jealous and competative
C) He is trying to motivate you by showing you that you have to hurry if you want him
Don't worry about being just 'another one of those girls' because hes said he likes you and you are going to a dance with him! So don't worry about it! You are SO money and you don't even know it (/swingersquote).
Besides, even if, on an off chance, he shoots you down, who cares? What have you lost? Everyone gets rejected a few times in their lives... might as well get comfortable with it while you're young.

Rosie. Just relax, be yourself and go with whatever feels right and I'm sure you'll be fine. I think everyone here is agreed that he wouldn't say no to a kiss so if the moment feels right and you find the courage then go for it. If you don't, then it's no biggie and it's not like it's the last time you'll see him right? Don't feel under pressure to do anything you don't want to .. you're supposed to go out and enjoy youself after all ; )
*hugs*
I'm sure you'll be fine =)

I agree with every word Andrew has typed. :)

A lot of good advice above.
You're funny and pretty, there's probably at least "7! 7 bloody blokes!!!" who like you too, but just haven't say anything because blokes are less open with their feelings or their "out of my league" alerts are sounding. Just be yourself and (like Matt said) if it feels right and you can gather the courage, just go for it. Even if you can't, don't feel bad you'll just have to try again another day. Given that he's already said he really really likes you, I seriously doubt that he'd shoot you down.
Enjoy it :)

I have to disagree STRONGLY with this last notion that Kev and Matt are throwing out there.
To say it's OK to essentially wimp out because you'll have another chance is called "enabling". You give yourself an excuse to back out of something. And if you keep giving yourself excuses, then you'll never actually accomplish anything that you're scared of.
Never give yourself an excuse to back out of something. Put yourself in a position where you HAVE to do it regardless of how scared or nervous you are. It's the only good way to motivate yourself sometimes.
Think about it for a minute and realize all the times you have kept an excuse handy so that you didn't have to do something you didn't want to do....

Yeah, you're totally right Andrew.
I think it was poorly worded on my part. I guess I was trying to say that it's not an easy thing to do and you never know how the circumstances will turn out for you. So even if it doesn't happen (for whatever reason) it's not the end of the world and you shouldn't feel too bad or that you've blown your last chance. It may not be the best way to motivate yourself, but too much pressure is rarely a good thing.
That said, I'm not disagreeing with Andrew. If you want it to happen, now is the time. Putting stuff off isn't a good idea (*speaks from experience* :-\). I have to say I'm probably the worlds worst for enabling :? And it's not a good way to live. lol

Thankyou so much everyone. I am so fickle: i'm really not in a good mood with him: he only got tickets today and hasn't told me what time he's picking me up. We had also fixed to do sth together today and we never fixed a time, then rach saw him in town and i txted him asking if he wanted to meet up for lunch. I wouldn't mind if he couldn't but he hasn't replied in 4 BLOODY HOURS!!
lol, anyway thankyou so much for your advice: i will repeat it regularly in my head the whole time, lmao. But i'm still so scared! lol

rosie darling you will be fine
we all know how lovely you are, and how adam should thank his lucky stars you are even going with him. i'm glad i refrained from hitting him when you told me of all his silly antics (that boy does try a Nessa Crush Chums patience!!)
But don't worry. Things will turn out the way they are meant to. eugh that sounded really awful and totally unhelpful, but...if the moment is right, go for it. you won't regret it either way, because whatever happens you will find out the way he feels. no games, and no silly tricks.
But alas crush chum, i know he likes you one hell of a lot, cause you're great, and quite frankly i think that mr adam will be one lucky boy tomorrow night.
Have fun, enjoy yourself, and don't worry!
<3
and don't forget to take plenty of pics! we all wanna see you looking swanky!! :lol:

Agreed. Cause it's not the end of the world to miss out on a date. But it's also not ok to do it cause you're scared.

ok...At the end of the night, the "may I come in and use your bathroom?" phrase works like a charm! It's worked for me on a few notable occasions!
-
go for it, girl! what have you got to lose? nothing. If he hasn't made a move, sit him down, look him straight in the eye and say "dude, I like you, and I want to go out with you, and if you have half a brain you'll say yes." :wink: ....or something along those lines.

(that boy does try a Nessa Crush Chums patience!!)
Couldn't agree more!! *sigh*
So... Rosie Rosie where are you?? We NEED to know what happened! :wink:
